This is an ongoing project to create an exhaustive ordinary of Johann Siebmacher's Wappenbuch from 1605. I am working from the digitization of it available here. If you find any error, please let me know. As a work in progress, it will be updated as I have time.

All blazons are my own. Note that in some cases, shields with a helmet facing sinister have had their arms reversed as well (e.g., a bend is displayed as a bend sinister, the tinctures of the field reversed, etc. So if you think you've found an error, double check the helm on top!) Each blazon is identified with the name of the owner as it appears in Siebmacher, with these conventions: I have transcribed vocalic v as u, and expanded , Gē:, and to en, genannt, and Von, respectively. The number in parentheses is the plate number on which the arms occur.


FESS - 3 or more

Argent, the body and heads of a double-headed eagle sable, overall three bars gules, die Stangen zu Cunitz (166).

Argent, three bars embattled gules, von der Warth (77).

Argent, two bars gemel sable, von Morsheim (126).

Per pale argent and Or, a fox courant palewise gules and three bars gemel sable, von Wangenhein (127), von Wangenheim (148).

Per pale sable and gules, two bars gemel argent, die Albach genannt von Daxheim (125).
